Dr Sean Beevers is Reader in Atmospheric Modelling in the School of Public Health, he leads the Environmental Research Group’s Air Pollution Modelling team and is a member of the MRC Centre for Environment and Health.
With over 15 years’ experience in modelling policies aimed at reducing the air pollution exposure of city populations, he has worked closely with London policy makers to implement major changes to the city, from the London Congestion Charging Zone to the recent London Ultra Low Emissions Zone.
He has been a PI and Co-I on 18 research council-funded projects since becoming an academic in 2009 and has published over 80 journal publications on air pollution and health, air pollution policy and climate related topics.
Dr Beever’s has led the development of coupled regional and local scale air pollution models able to provide predictions at detailed spatial and temporal scales for cities, countries and even continents. He is currently studying the co-benefits of air pollution and climate policies, using modelled exposure estimates in epidemiological studies, and is leading research into vehicle detection using satellite imagery.
